Abstract
TAVARA OROZCO, Luis. Person-Centered Obstetric Care. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2023, vol.69, n.2, 00006. Epub July 06, 2023. ISSN 2304-5132. http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v69i2512.
The Code of Ethics of the Peruvian Medical Association states that medicine is a scientific and humanistic profession. Person-Centered Care is now recognized as a fundamental component of quality medical care because numerous beneficial outcomes have been observeds for patients, family members and providers.
Objective:
To explore the arguments for person-centered medicine in order to incorporate it into our specialty and contribute to improving obstetric care.
Methodology:
Non-systematic review of the literature with selection of 72 references to construct this trial.
Results:
Over time, women have been attended by other women during childbirth. However, in hospitals around the world continuous support during labor has often become the exception. Currently, women deliver in a private setting with no one to accompany them, a situation to be changed, according to the evidence. The WHO recommends respectful maternity care and refers to care that maintains dignity, privacy and professional secrecy ensures freedom that no harm or abuse is done and allows informed choice and ongoing support during labor and delivery.
Conclusion:
The literature review shows that person-centered obstetric care improves maternal and perinatal health.
Keywords : Person-centered medicine; person-centered care.
